The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits dark garnet color with leather aromas accompanied with hints of subtle cinnamon and smoked cherry wood. On the palate, notes of lingonberry and dark cherry. Fully integrated and well balanced, this wine has great tannin with a long, lingering finish.

This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon deftly weaves fruit and floral notes with well-integrated oak character. Enjoy aromas and flavors of violets, blackberry, black cherry, black plum, eucalyptus, toast and baking spice.
Lodi is justifiably lauded for its old vine Zinfandels, but it is a production powerhouse when it comes to Cabernet Sauvignon. Lodi and its surrounding area (San Joaquin County) rank third in the state in acres planted to Cab, behind Napa and Paso Robles/San Luis Obispo County. But in total tons crushed Lodi is number one by a wide margin, surpassing Napa and Paso combined. In other words, Lodi produces more Cabernet Sauvignon than anywhere else in the U.S. This more volume-driven approach to viticulture makes possible the value-oriented bottlings that so many wine drinkers reach for on an everyday basis. These offer the varietal’s classic profile of dark fruit, oak influence, subtle herbal and green pepper notes and solid structure. Try Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon from wineries like Cosentino, Ironstone, Lapis Luna and The Federalist.
